Alexis grabbed the poor hunk by the lapels of his jacket and tried shaking the answers out of him. The only thing that led to was Alexis being taken away by the school police and Atticus throwing up in his jacket.
The gang slowly edged away from the boy clad in throw up.
"Uh…Squirtle! Take the stage! Water gun! Quickly!" Squirtle let out a stream of water from its mouth and onto Atticus. The water was so cold that Atticus got brain freeze. He stood, like he was frozen in time.
May wrinkled her nose. "He still smells bad." Everyone laughed. Jaden bent down to pet Squirtle.
"Wow. Pokémon are so cool. I wish I had one…" he trailed off. May smiled, hearing him.
Bending down to pet her own Squirtle, she said, "You know, I used to hate Pokémon when I started my journey, but now, I love them all more than life." Jaden grinned warmly.
"I had a friend who taught me how wonderful and powerful Pokémon could be. I'd like you to meet him someday. You two would get along very well."
"I'd like to meet him-"
"If you two have finished you little discussion, can we go and find the shampoo?"
May chuckled amicably. "No worries, Sy. Maybe we can have Beautifly help. I'm here for more than just helping you defeat the shadow idiots. I'm also here to look for shampoo bottles."
Beautifly came out of its Pokéball. Since it heard the whole conversation from inside the Pokéball, it knew exactly what to do. It used psychic to locate the bottles, but at the same time, it felt the presence of a dark energy.
Beautifly sagged in the air. May frowned, walking over to her Pokémon.
"What's wrong, Beautifly?" Beautifly flapped its wings, flying higher in the air. It looked around with its sharp eyes, ignoring May's concern –not to be rude but to focus on what it was doing- and spotted a dark blob somewhere in the forest.
"I think she sees something," Jaden muttered.
"I think you're right," May agreed, looking up at Beautifly, frowning, slightly befuddled by her behavior. Suddenly, Beautifly headed west, her eyes telling May to follow.
"Let's follow," May told Jaden. He nodded, following May. It seemed the others didn't notice the, running away(somehow).
After a few minutes of running, almost hitting trees, perspiring, Beautifly stopped in front of a clearing in the forest they were running in.
May and Jaden put their hands on their knees for support, panting. Jaden looked up, looking for signs of anything remotely suspicious. Nothing.
Then suddenly, the wind started whipping around them, encircling them in a twister.
May and Jaden put their hands over their eyes for a moment before May yelled, "Beautifly, safeguard!" Beautifly glowed a bright white, making sure to touch both Jaden and May. Then, suddenly, they were all covered in the light. Then the light became glass. They were in the storm, but they couldn't feel it.
"That was weird," Jaden commented, letting out the air he was holding. Then he added, lightly," I should've gotten used to it by now."
May sent him and amused look." Look mister, you can never get used saving the world. I still haven't."
He laughed tiredly."It never gets boring, does it?"
"Nope. But this storm is." With nothing to lean on, May sat down on the ground, Jaden following.
"Do you get the feeling that a shadow idiot is behind this?" May asked, holding her knees to her chest. Jaden frowned, shaking his head.
"I highly doubt it. This time I think it's a shadow rider."
"You've guessed it, Jaden." May and Jaden stood up abruptly, looking around through the see-through force field.
A big man- they assumed it was a man- stood, hovering above them. It was nearly impossible to make out his face.
He grinned- they saw the pearly teeth reflect the
light emitting from Beautifly.
"But I haven't come alone. I
think someone wants to meet you very much, May."
A/N- Okay guys. My Muse wasn't cooperating with me. I had a deadline with no ideas. So more ideas next week.^^
I'd like to thank all the people that reviewed again. I have a horrible tummy ache so I can't mention names right now. :/
Thankyou all, though. Please review. I know, I didn't edit my story. Tummy ache again.
